Sometimes these units have the ability to switch the speaker off and on. Look up the speaker settings in the manual.
As each channel in the unit will be separately driven the power amp for the center channel could have failed, but I think it's unlikely unless you have had problems with the sound on it before, or connected it wrongly causing a fault.
Your problem isnt in your PC, it's because you chose the onboard sound to listen to music etc, which is normal. Unfortunately, you need to choose the HDMI Audio output if you want sound on your TV FROM the HDMI cable. Right click the sound icon located to the lower right side of your screen and choose (adjust audio properties). Now go to the audio tab and click the output device window and choose your HDMI audio output, whatever it may be called. Just pick the one that wasn't selected when you opened it and click ok or apply. Now all audio output is controlled by your Video card lol. Crazy aint it?
Hi all, I also purchased a logitech x-540 a few days ago and also have
the center speaker outputting sound when i test or play the subwoofer.
I didn't think this is normal and am now confused. Maybe its a problem
with the audio drivers? MB is a ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 with Soundmax
drivers. Hopefully someone can help to diagnose/ find a soluytion.
is it an integrated audio device or a sound card? i own a thinkcentre and i had the same problem, but just going into the device manager and right clicking on the problem device and updating the driver solved it for me, but i also added a soundblaster audigy ls sound card and both work fine now, however i have the same problem on my other pc, a dell, and i cant solve that one. another reason on my list of many to not buy a dell.
If the optical cable was bad, the sound would be distorted period. The optical cable (whether coax or fiber) just simply carries the coded audio to the receiver which in turn decodes it. I have never heard of a signal just screwing up the center channel, and I've been at this better than 30 years. Not to say it's impossible, but very unlikely.
Did you try swapping speakers? Move the left one to the center and the center to the left. Does the center remain "distorted"? Does the left become "distorted"? If the center remains distorted, the receiver's center channel has something wrong with it. If the left is distorted, the speaker has a problem.
For the future. it is un-neceaasy to purchase expensive cables. In fact it could make things worse. The claim to fame of most expensive cable manufacturers is the gold plating on the connectors. Unless the bioth sides have gold plating (receiver, cable box) this actually creates a capacitive reactance between the different metal types. FYI-capacitive and inductive capacitances are the basis for designeing cross-overs, filters, etc. So basically, an undesired filtering effect is created. This applies to speaker cables, audio, video, etc....
It sounds like the center channel isn't plugged into the correct speaker output. Unhook the speakers and reattach them while paying VERY close attention to which jacks you're putting them in. Report back with results.
